介绍（中）	这个中世纪的故事讲述了一位宫廷贵族的女儿Aigyō的故事，她从七岁起就被一个邪恶的继母抚养长大。当Aigyō爱上了一位来自皇宫的船长时，继母试图淹死她的继女，以便她的亲生女儿与船长订婚。在她的继母成功之前，Aigyō已故的母亲神奇地以一只大乌龟的身份出现，救了溺水的女儿之后，在前往熊野神社的朝圣中，Aigyō与一位来自九州的名叫秋月（秋月）的修女交上了朋友，正如故事的标题所示。当秋葵修女在京都清水寺见到船长时，她安排艾姬与她的旧爱团聚。他们结婚了，船长最终被提升为帝国摄政王，Aigyō富有同情心地照顾她的继母和Akizuki修女像这样的教学故事，被称为"伴故事"（otogizōshi），经常以豪华插图版本复制，如图所示。
介绍（英）	This medieval tale relates the story of Aigyō, daughter of a palace nobleman, who, from the age of seven, is raised by an evil stepmother. When Aigyō falls in love with a captain from the palace, the stepmother tries to drown her stepdaughter so that her real daughter can get engaged to the captain. Before her stepmother succeeds, Aigyō’s deceased mother magically appears as a large turtle to save her daughter from drowning. Afterwards, during a pilgrimage to the Kumano Shrines, Aigyō befriends a nun from Kyushu named Akizuki (Autumn Moon), as in the title of the story. When Nun Akizuki meets the captain at Kiyomizu Temple in Kyoto, she arranges for Aigyō to be reunited with her former love. They marry, and the captain is eventually promoted to imperial regent, and Aigyō compassionately looks after both her stepmother and Nun Akizuki. Didactic stories such as this, known as “companion tales” (otogizōshi), were often reproduced in deluxe illustrated editions, as seen here.
